|
Yeah, mmm mmm mmm, yeah that sho' feel good. |
|
Hello! I go by the name of simply Cee-Lo Green - how do you do? |
|
Welcome. I thought I'd seize this opportunity to tell you a little |
|
bit more about myself if you don't mind. This is my vision. |
|
YouknowhatI'msaying? Check me out now. Uhh |
|
I have millenniums of material and rivers of rhythm |
|
An entire ocean of emotion that's enlightening to swim in |
|
Also a forest of feeling, beaten paths of peace |
|
Trapped inside my silhouette I have to speak to release |
|
Demanding more from the pen than I horde from the pen |
|
The line between playing to win and sin is thin |
|
But I walk it with grace and I talk it with taste |
|
I am that raw, simply put, and I rest my case; it's elementary |
|
Yet far more than resources to pay the rent for me |
|
Everything that I've done is divine |
|
Ask God, he'll tell ya, yeah, he mine |
|
So, you see, you don't need another thug out of me |
|
That is the last thing I plan to be on this LP |
|
But I'ma go slip into something mo' comfortable and continue the lesson |
|
No inconvenience at all, I insist on leaving an impression |
|
So relax, and ride out. Relax, okay, and ride out |
|
Just relax, and ride out. Players, relax, and ride out |
|
I also solicit visual verbalism worth a visit |
|
Intensely exquisite artism inquire all. Who is it? |
|
It's a deliciously daring delicacy I eat to exist |
|
Oh, he's waving those words, I want seconds and thirds |
|
Oh, hush. That's awful kind of you, you're making me blush |
|
I could use some competition, but they not making me much |
|
Man, this beat is like my master, it's making me bust |
|
Hip-hop is suffering, meaning I'm a necessity, if nothing |
|
But you like every other rapper - cornrows and a bandana |
|
But I get a hundred and fifty thousand dollar check |
|
every three months off Santana |
|
Don't you **** up, though, my family is the whole side of Atlanta |
|
Now, how can I say? Okay, let me just put it this way |
|
If anyone ever contests my conquest my gun best |
|
Yo son just, takes one time to be one less |
|
Til you run and tell the rest that I'm the best |
|
I sang sweet, but brang heat to bang meat |
|
We all on the same street |
|
And it's not that often I verbalize the essential element of surprise |
|
I am not one of these thug rapper guys |
|
But this one will help you realize, and use both eyes to recognize |
|
the type of action that this amount of money buys |
|
Now listen son, let me drop some shit on you man |
|
I can just "do-do-do-do-do-do-do" and put a hit on you man |
|
With hot heat that will make your heart beat quit on you man |
|
And Mr. Dawson'll find a pretty box to fit on you man |
|
So relax, and ride out. Just relax, young man, and ride out |
|
Hey, you better relax, and ride out. Okay? Just relax, and ride out |
|
I could take that shit all day |
|
But if I only had sixteen more bars to live |
|
I'd get high, and hopefully O.D. on an alternative |
|
I'd give a dim lit dream, a colour scheme |
|
And I'd swim for the sun (so far) no matter how impossible that may seem |
|
I'd bury my feet in the foundation of a forest Becoming one with |
|
everything there |
|
I would belong. I would be right and wrong. But I'd be rare |
|
And then I would pretend I didn't care. Use my fear |
|
And pray that my forever would be fair. |
|
And I love you all, unconditional, I get misty already missing y'all |
|
And then I forgive those who rhyme to kill the time |
|
While mine cultivate the consciousness and |
|
Chill the spine, heal the mind, yet still sublime |
|
Ride out. Relax, and ride out. Relax, and ride out. Relax, and ride out |
|
This is one for the road. Yeah. One time for your mother****ing mind |
|
I told how you mother****ing play. D.F. y'all. Believe this. Yeah |
|
Shouts out to Outkast, Goodie Mob. Yeah, Backbone, where ya at brother? |
|
(Hey) Hahaha. Alright. (Easy now) Hahaha. Yeah. Can't nobody stop me now |
|
No, sir. Yeah. I'm gone, y'all. Oh, man. It's lovely. Ahahah. Yeah |
|
Somebody better stop me. Hahaha. Cause I'm good. Heheheheh. Yeah. Hahahahah |
|
Alright now. Heheheh. Yeah. Alright, we gonna relax, cause it feels so good |
|
Everybody doing their godamn thing. Yeah |
